Icon6 car won't go into gear when motor is running.

PLEASE READ BEFORE REPLYING.

I have a 91teg with a Gsr swap. I took it out of my Si and put it in the Da, so it worked fine before removal. I purchased the Innovative hydro to cable kit. The gears went into gear fine when motor was off.(added fresh synchro mesh). when the motor was running it would not go into gear, I figured the kit wasn't actuating the clutch enough and just got a cable tranny with a new clutch. Now this will not go into hear with the motor running!! WTF? Here's a list of the work I have done to try and figure it out.

1. Cable was adjusted both times
2. Flywheel was installed correctly both times
3. Clutch was installed correctly both times
4. Tranny's are good out of running cars
5. Same Da linkage and short shifter with both trannys
I am stumped guys, any constructive comments are welcome. Do not ask what I have already answered.
Thank you.

being grumpy will get you nowhere.. lol

how do you know that the is disengaging all the way? when someone presses the clutch, can you see the outside of the clutch fork move A GOOD AMOUNT?

im sorry you dont want to hear this, but it really sounds like your clutch just isnt moving or isnt moving enough

I don't know if you are including this in your clutch installation, but it could be a problem with the throw out bearing being installed incorrectly or defective.

How did you bleed the clutch? If u bled it out of the bleeder valve it will not work - you gotta bleed it out of the line. The line is higher than the bleeder valve and it will hold air.

He said its a cable to hydro conversion kit so its still a cable with a hydro transmission converted.so he can't bleed the clutch.
